Why Art.Foundation?

Art.Foundation is essentially a stdlib for JavaScript. There is a lot of common functionality left out of base JavaScript. For example:

• Foundation.BaseObject is the base-class almost all other classes in the Art libraries inherit from. It provides:
  • @getter ... - easy ways to define getter, setters and property accessors.
  • @classPathName - easy ways to introspect the name and namespace path of any class or instance
  • unique object IDs
  • ... and more
• inspect - powerful tools to inspect objects
• log - enhanced logging
• enhanced string, array and plain-object manipulation
• RestClient with Promises
• BinaryString - enhanced tools for manipulating binary strings
• types - standardized object type detection and introspection
• Webworker Rpc
• Enhanced object equality
• Enhanced object cloning
